The first season of "The Gold" (8.7 million viewers for the debut episode) was almost as spectacular success as the real-life 1983 Brink's-Mat heist that inspired it and the public fascination with the crime shows little sign of abating. "The Gold" season 2 is streaming for free in the U.K. now – but that doesn't mean viewers in the U.S. need miss out.
Here's how to watch "The Gold" season 2 online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free!

The truth is that nobody knows – well a few people know but they're either dead or not saying and so the underworld has several of its own theories, some informed and some pure speculation. For Neil Forsyth (creator, writer and executive producer of "The Gold") this provides a perfect chance for speculation and dramatisation.
"The second and final part of 'The Gold'," he has said, "Sees the story of the Brink’s-Mat robbery, and everything that stemmed from it, become even more expansive, surprising and international." Unsurprisingly, an all-star cast (see below) have signed up to deliver this hugely anticipated sequel.
